DADES VALLEY – TODRA GORGE – ERFOUD – MERZOUGA – ERG CHEBBI DESERT

After breakfast, we’ll continue along the banks of the Boulmane River, where a road lined with kasbahs (citadels) and ksour (fortresses or castles) opens up, set against a landscape of ochre, red, and mauve hues. All around us, we’ll see rocky plateaus where dromedaries graze.

After a journey filled with ksour, oases, and palm trees, we’ll arrive in Tineghir (home to the spectacular Todra Gorges), perched at an altitude of 1,350 meters and surrounded by a palm grove.

We will continue on to Erfoud (the city of fossils) and, after passing through Rissani, we will arrive in Merzouga, facing the Erg Chebbi dunes. Overnight at a hotel.

MERZOUGA–RISSANI–THE DRAA VALLEY–OUARZAZATE

In the morning, we’ll ride back to the hotel on camels for breakfast and a refreshing shower. We’ll then head to Rissani, the first imperial city, with its lively market, where nomads from the surrounding area come to sell their livestock and buy the supplies they need.

If time permits, we can do some shopping at the market and sample its famous Berber pizza, before heading to Ouarzazate through the Draa Valley, home to one of Morocco’s longest rivers. We’ll make stops to admire the charming adobe kasbahs and Berber villages that dot the route, as well as the fascinating geological formations of the Draa Valley.
